Lentil Pasta with Aubergine
Feeds 4 | Preparation time 15 minutes
What to do:
- In a large deep pot and on a medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once sizzling, add the diced red onion. Cook for a few mins until the onion becomes translucent, then add the garlic and continue cooking for 3 mins.
- Add the aubergine chunks and cook for 8-10 mins, until they soften and become golden.
- Add the canned tomatoes, soya sauce/ tamari, capers, vegan Worcestershire sauce, sliced sundried tomatoes, coconut sugar, chilli flakes and oregano and allow to simmer for 15-20 mins, to allow the sauce to reduce on a medium heat.
- In the last 10 mins of the sauce reducing, cook the pasta according to manufacturer’s instructions. (My lentil pasta only takes 7-9 minutes to cook).
- Stir in the tomato puree to the sauce. And cook for a further 3-5 mins. Season with black pepper, to taste.
- Drain the pasta and stir in to the rich tomato sauce.
- Divide between the bowls and garnish with Parmesan shavings and fresh basil. My nieces love this dish but without olives (they think they look like teddy bear noses!), but by all means add them if you are an olive lover! Enjoy.
